Rebekah Vardy reportedly gave Wayne Rooney a ‘savage’ nickname during her highly-publicised ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial against his wife, Coleen.

Apparently, the media personality said the footballer looked like a ‘hot potatoe’. 

Throughout the trial, people had been mocking Vardy for her court sketches, with some claiming ‘she looks like something out of Lord of the Rings‘.

However, she reportedly told The Sun: “I’d rather look like something out of Lord of the Rings than a hot potato.”

After the trial, Vardy gave a tell-all interview to TalkTV, where she spoke about how the case impacted her mental health. 

Opening up about her ‘lowest point,’ she said: “I think my lowest point was when I was in Dubai trying to get a flight to come home early from holiday.

“I knew what I was coming back to – I just knew there was going to be spiteful hatred everywhere.

Rebekah Vardy Tells All On Peter Andre ‘Chipolata’ Story

“Jamie and I were in a shopping mall at the time buying baby clothes, and I just thought, ‘I don’t want to go through this, I don’t want to live like this’.

“For a split second, I said to Jamie, ‘I feel like I just want to jump off this top floor’.”

Vardy also revealed that she has been admitted to the hospital a couple of times due to her mental well-being.

She and Coleen Rooney were once good friends through their footballer husbands, however, the fallout between them was public after Rooney alleged in 2019 that Vardy had been leaking personal information to the press about her.

Even though the trial got heated at times, Vardy has insisted she would reach out to Rooney one day and hopes they can reconcile ‘over a coffee’.
